Halloween Scavenger Hunt

Report from Liz
Rotary Papanui partnered with local Real Estate business, Ray White Papanui to bring some family community fun to the locals on the 31st October.
It took the form of a children’s scavenger hunt to identify Halloween figures at 10 stations, writing it down on the sheet provided and giving it back at the end to receive a bag of sweets. We allowed an hour to complete this hunt and it worked out perfectly.
Using Ray White’s Facebook page registration for the event it attracted over 400 + children. Large posters and flyers were put in shop windows and delivered to primary schools and households in the local area.
Liz Courtney, from Papanui Rotary, organised the set-up of 5 of the stations along with plenty of Rotarian helpers and Ray White volunteers did the remaining 5.
The collaboration between the groups was wonderful beginning with putting together 500 small paper bags of sweets with Rotary / Ray White branding a few days before and working out the Halloween stations that would be the most effective and easy for us to assemble within a short 2 hour period.
This event gave us an opportunity to showcase Rotary, work with a local business and educate them about Rotary and the benefits of partnering with us. Our event skills were highlighted and it engaged over half of our members both young and older.
The feedback has been fantastic from families who attended, our Rotarians and the staff at Ray White.
This is a repeat event!
